VarietyJoe LeydonSep 13, 2015
Christensen underplays throughout 90 Minutes in Heaven, even in scenes when Piper isn’t operating under the influence of painkillers, and his earnestness often comes off as monotonous. Still, he generates interest and sympathy, almost in spite of himself, and Bosworth lends capable support as a loyal spouse. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenSep 9, 2015
The Christian faith-based film genre takes a dramatic leap forward with 90 Minutes in Heaven, a well-appointed work based on Don Piper’s bestseller, that, for a change, doesn’t look and sound as though it was written, performed, and recorded in some church basement. Read full review

A better title would’ve likely been “121 Minutes in Purgatory,” since that’s essentially where audiences will find themselves residing during the entirety of this dreary slog down a familiar road paved with painfully good intentions. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckSep 11, 2015
It's certainly a moving tale.... Unfortunately, the film tells the story in the most prosaic fashion imaginable, missing nary a single faith-based film cliché with its one-dimensional noble characters, banal dialogue and requisite sermonizing. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSep 10, 2015
Although this well-meaning film may appeal to its intended audience on a spiritual level, the result is a sluggish, clinical, largely dreary portrait that tends to mistake trauma for drama. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldSep 10, 2015
Rendering a miraculous premise dull, the film seems relatively uninterested in doing more than preaching to the choir. Read full review
